Ingredients

4 Granny Smith apples
2 tablespoons Salted butter
1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
7 tablespoons Water divided
2 tablespoons Cornstarch

Instructions

Core and peel the apples then cut them into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl combine the sugar, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon, stirring together until well mixed.
In a small bowl whisk together the 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry.
In a large skillet melt the butter over medium-high heat.
Add the apple pieces and 5 tablespoons of water then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the apples. Stir together and let cook them for 5-6 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
Turn up the heat enough to bring the liquid to a boil. Continue to cook for 3 minutes or until apples soften.
Pour the cornstarch mixture (slurry) over the apples and stir together. Continue to cook until the mixture thickens, 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool before storing.
